Pain management in major paediatric trauma and burns

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Pain management in major pediatric trauma and burns remains challenging. The care phases include prehospital, the Emergency Department, ward, and intensive care, with multiple operative and procedural interventions (as inpatients and, later, outpatients). Distress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (from the primary event, and in-hospital and postdischarge course), itch, deranged sleep, nociceptive and neuropathic pain occur frequently and can persist. This chapter presents the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions employed during the various phases to address pain and associated issues in major trauma and burns patients.
